PA command: can it be read back before the BG?

Submitted by mwilk on Thu, 03/30/2017 - 14:36

I have an application that calculates a distance to move, then commands PAx = dddd.

Then, based on some external input, the BG command is sent.

Is there a way to verify the value of the PA command? When I do MG _PAx or PAx=?, I get the final position of the previous command. Is there a simple way to recover the current setting of the NEXT PA commanded move?

Hi mwilk,

If your application is calculating a distance you can store that calculation into a variable, dddd. Then before you issue the PA move you can check and confirm that the variable value for dddd is correct. If the value is correct you could then issue a PA dddd.
